The Rose and the Moon (Artwork)

Greetings! Today I would like to show you another one of my Artworks, this time one of my more recent ones again. I decided to draw Margaery Tyrell surrounded by a field of roses with the nightsky in the Background. I hope you like it. Thanks! As always I used a Graphic Tablet and Paint Tool Sai. The whole drawing took me approximately 3 hours to complete.

I began with simply making an outline of how the drawing should look in the end and what I had in mind for it. Then I started the actual drawing by drawing the face and the facial features. For this I used multiple colours to make the skin look more interesting. I also used the "Colour Picker'" Tool to blend the Colours smoothly. Then I added more details, shadows and lighting as well as the facial features like eyebrows, mouth and nose.

I continued with drawing the hair and to make it look more realistic I added single strains in lighter colours. Then i continued to draw her upper body, keeping in mind the basic shape of the dress I wanted her to wear.

For the next step I decided to focus more on the Background instead of Margery herself. I drew multiple dots in different sizes for the stars and then added the moon. By copying the layer and applying the "Luminosity" Effect on it I created the moonlight effect.

Next I finally started with drawing the dress. Since I wanted to represent the colour of the banner of House Tyrell I picked green and a golden-yellow colour. The dress simply is in said green colour but to make it more interesting I added golden lace around the sleeves and decided to make the them look like they were detachable. I decided to do this so the drawing would have some more details.

For the last step I added even more details to the artwork, like the roses in the background and foreground or the hairnet with the pearls. Recently I found myself adding symbolism to pictures as well. This is, like mentioned, the finished artwork. I hope you like the result. Thanks! :)
